The bars have a long history in the LGBTQ+ community. In the early days, they not only served as places to socialize, but also as community centers where organizers and activists gathered.

Panelists include Rick Karlin, the co-author of the 2022 book Last Call Chicago: A History of 1001 LGBTQ-Friendly Taverns, Haunts & Hangouts (Rattling Good Yarns Press); Eboné Bell, Editor-in-Chief of Tagg Magazine; Jo McDaniel and Coach, co-owners of As You Are, and Krista Burton, author of Moby Dyke: An Obsessive Quest to Track Down the Last Remaining Lesbian Bars in America.

Panel: Gregg Shapiro (he/him), Rick Karlin (he/him), Eboné Bell (she/her), Jo McDaniel (she/her), Coach (they/them), Krista Burton (she/her).
